10. Explain the use of colors and/or other details to add value to the design.​
We wanted to do reception in earthy Peachy pink color to have a very unique identity. Interior design and especially office design has been dominated by cooler tones for very many years, and too bright in last couple of years and it’s about time to add some warmth, and so this pleasant color which instantly brings about hospitable vibes. The reception table is done with fluted panels, in light wood color with white hard surface tops. Having the same finish in entire reception is enhancing the scale of the space. Simple walls are creatively balanced by curved ceiling recesses housing rich contemporary chandeliers.
